On Monday my mom came to Tucson, and I had the day off from work so we spent some time together; she had an appointment with her cardiologist, and then we went for a walk along the Rillito River (it’s a dry river, most of the time) bike/pedestrian path. Doesn’t my mom look absolutely adorable? In the past 3 years she’s had a heart attack and been in a serious car crash, and she’s just so stunning in spite of it all. I’m so proud to be her daughter; I don’t care how corny that sounds, it’s true.
